If this movie had starred, let's say, Jason Statham, it might have worked and could have been labelled "The Mechanic 3" since all Hollyweird comes up these days is sequals, prequals, reboots and remakes. They have reached an artistic and intellectual low.
Remember the 80s? You know, that period where you had one masterpiece after the other (called "classics" today) with an extreme level of rewatchability were produced EACH YEAR ? Well, nowadays you have something that pops up from time to time that's "not too shabby". Really outstanding movies come very rarely and funny enough, they are usually from the same handful of directors.
So what is this here then? I have to be careful, because if I say It's DIE HARD, then this would go as a spoiler, because if you have seen Die Hard, you have seen this movie ... just worse. Risking being called a mysogynist, I still say the only time a woman was credible as an "action super hero" was Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde. But this? This is just Daisy Ridley, an average actress with an average body who was promised a legendary career by Kathleen Kennedy, but who so far has completely failed to shine in anything she has starred in - especially in anything Star Wars related and obviously here as an ex something something.
Please, Hollyweird, NOBODY wants to see a 90 lbs woman destroy trained 220 lbs male killers like it's nothing ... that's why people watch Superhero movies, not this kind of dud.
It comes therefore with no surprise that the internet laughs and makes all sort of absolutely valid jokes: DEI Hard, Cleaner 2 - Clean Harder and Cleaner 3 - Clean With A Vengeance starring DEIsy Ridley ...
Hollyweird, we know you love diversity, so in your own best interrest listen to the best advice a black man can give you:
"Stop it. Get some help."
